100%. Sometimes it really is that simple. Is she usually a lazy defender? Yes. Does she get in her head too much? Yes. But you can't deny the talent and potential. Give the woman some more minutes and time on the court to acclimate with Nneka and Liz and we will be a much better team. |

This surprised me as well considering that she was a finalist for the Mercury job when it was open and also since Williams was supposed to be leaving for Auburn. Maybe she will be in the running for the position after the season is over unless she has another opportunity lined up,

| Fred is the safe, boring choice. He's been a head coach and an interim coach before.

If Fred Williams was coaching at Indiana, would Cambage have gone there? I doubt it. More likely she was drawn to the Kobe/Lakers/Hollywood mystique and also she considers herself a lost Kardashian.

I think Fred Williams should should make this his depth chart.
Canada/Brown
Carter/Toliver (at least until she gets up to speed)
Sykes/Samuelson
NOgwumike, COgwumike
Cambage, Nelson-Ododa
Injured
Burrell (emulating Rennia Davis)
On a milk carton
Walker
I noticed the Sparks have a game on 6/11 and then the next one isn’t until 6/19. That’s a lot of practice time to work in Toliver and a new coach.
Notice to ESPN fantasy managers: If you own multiple Sparks players, you’re the probably going to lose next week.

I would think the union contract wouldn’t allow for a member to simultaneously hold a non-union company position. |
I was thinking more for next year. If they wanted her for this year, they would have already put her in as interim and nullified her player contract.

Exactly....you already know what time it is!!! At some point all these super-Liz fans that are determined to keep falling fer her bullshit, continue to keep kissing her ass no matter how many times she exposes her true nature....this happens in multiple cities and countries, hopefully they will wake up one day soon!!!

| I want "Lil Mopey" as coach. She has a great basketball mind, and would stand up to anyone.

WNBA head-coaching candidate list filled with established leaders ready for highly competitive league

| Augustus, 38, is a long-shot choice to move up so quickly, but it's not like the Sparks haven't made such choices prior. The four-time champion of the Minnesota Lynx dynasty switched over to the other side of the clipboard as a Sparks assistant days before the 2021 season tipped off. Noelle Quinn's rise in Seattle was similar. She retired following the 2018 season and joined the coaching staff, then took over midway through the '21 campaign when Dan Hughes retired. |

I remember several years back when I was pushing for Dawn Staley, who as a PG had a reputation for being a coach on the court, to be a WNBA head coach. Some here was convinced it would not work because they felt the veteran players who she played with|against would not give her enough respect. Now Dawn may be taking over from Geno as the NCAA' s women's basketball premier head coach.

| Pretty significant difference between the situations for Quinn in Seattle and Augustus in LA. Quinn got to slide over one seat on a settled, successful team when the head coach stepped aside. She had maybe the best player on the planet in Stewart, a quiet star in Loyd, and a veteran leader in Bird who could easily have the job herself by now if she wasn't still playing. Augustus has none of that in LA, and would be taking over their usual level of craziness and disruption. Surely makes it much less likely they'd hand the job to someone with so little experience. |

What do you mean, "falling for it"? Are you assuming that Cambage's fans are all being "tricked," or something?

It still makes me sick to see Money Mone in purple and gold but can you PLEASE not make Mone the head coach for the team who's only championship since 2002 was because the refs forgot the damn shot clock violation rules??
